Beckett Media recently announced that they have ceased publication of Beckett eSports magazine with the June/July 2007 issue. Here is the message from Beckett Media that subscribers can expect to see in their mailbox:

“Dear Beckett eSports subscriber:
We regret to inform you that Beckett Media has ceased publication of Beckett eSports magazine with the June/July 2007 issue.
Because you are a valued customer, beginning soon you will receive Beckett Massive Online Gamer, for the remaining value of your Beckett eSports subscription term.
Thank you for your understanding and your support of the Beckett eSports magazine. Should you have a question about your subscription, please call 1-800-840-3137.
Kind regards,
Beckett Media LLP”

GotFrag is extremely disappointed by Beckett Media’s decision to end the magazine. In addition, we also strongly disagree with the choice to fulfill the remainder of subscription lengths with a different magazine and to not provide refunds, as we feel this is less than ideal in terms of customer care and support. Unfortunately, this decision is entirely Beckett's. The best that GotFrag can do with this situation is to offer a free 1 year subscription to Prime to all Beckett eSports subscribers, please see below for further details on this.

As some of you may or may not know, Beckett Media and GotFrag had a partnership whereas Beckett Media published and distributed the magazine, while GotFrag provided all of the content. Since the launch of Beckett eSports, GotFrag has worked hard to provide innovative and insightful content for the magazine, always delivering content on time and of high quality to fulfill our end of the agreement. We firmly believe in the idea of an eSports magazine and are currently looking at other options to get the magazine published. Once again, we at GotFrag sincerely apologize for this situation to all of our subscribers and supporters.

If you as a subscriber are unsatisfied with your subscription or have any additional questions regarding your subscription, please contact Beckett Media. We apologize to all of our subscribers, but thank you for your continuing support as we all try to take eSports to the next level.

Note for Beckett eSports subscribers:

In order to receive a free year of Prime for subscribing to the magazine, please send an email to magazine@gotfrag.com and include your name, e-mail address, zip code and state that the magazine subscription would be under. Also please include your GotFrag user ID (found by clicking your profile page and looking in the address bar) and handle.
